Vintage Rapala Countdown CD9 (Finland), 2/5oz G (Gold) fishing lure #23933

Gold scales (G) etched into the balsa body characterize this Rapala Countdown CD9, a classic specimen originating from Finland. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this lure is designed to sink and hold at depths between 1 ft and 13 ft (0.3 – 3.9 m). The dark back contrasts sharply against the gold-scaled sides and the pale belly, while a small red accent sits just beneath the nose. A clear, angled diving lip and two original treble hooks define its construction, built for both casting and trolling for species like trout, walleye, and pike. The yellow-rimmed eyes provide a nice focal point on the head. In terms of condition, the exterior remains bright and the hardware is secure, leading to a 5/5 rating for this specific piece, identified by product code 23933.
